Moodle Authentication - Shibboleth and/or IMAP

[ICTNUT]

Hi All,

 

Has anyone got Shibboleth authentication running with Moodle??

 

If you have hoa have you found it, was it easy to setup??

 

Also anyone using IMAP authentication??

 

Due to the *nix setup I have I am unable to use LDAP so I am looking at alternatives now if I use IMAP how do users enter thier usernames??

 

Is there anything I need to do on the Exchange box???

 

So many questions so little time............

Huh? LDAP works fine on *nix. I have it running here with AD...

Geoff, the VM appliance I have does not have it available and I can not install it either for fear of breaking the VM appliance.

 

Yes i could get rid of it and get another but I have four other (highly used) apps running on it and it would be a mere to move them over to a new platform.

 

I have got the imap auth working but there is now now way to map the data fields to pre fill the users profile on account creation so I am currently looking into Shibboleth as a potential auth method but this may take time.
